Moždani udar - moj put prema spoznaji: osobna priča jedne neuroznanstvenice

Moždani udar - moj put prema spoznaji: osobna priča jedne neuroznanstvenice

Jill Bolte-Taylor

The author of the book, a neuroscientist, suffered a stroke herself. This is her confession - life before the stroke, the morning it happened and the course of recovery.

On the morning of December 10, 1996, Jill Bolte Taylor, a thirty-seven-year-old neuroscientist, suffered a severe stroke. As an expert in neuroanatomy, she recognized what was happening and watched her mind lose function. She could no longer walk, speak, read, write or remember anything about her own life, all in just a few hours. Everything that happened to her in those moments, Jill faithfully describes in this book, as well as the recovery process that took her eight years. But Jill finds the experience invaluable…

Thanks to the knowledge about how the brain works, respect for her own body and above all her caring mother, she managed to renew her mind and reshape her understanding of the world. She described her experience in this warm book that expresses admiration for the human body and its ability to recover.

This book is a valuable help for anyone who has suffered brain damage, but also for people who communicate with stroke victims in order to recognize their true needs.
